Technology moves exponentially yet life remains fragile.
As humanity looks beyond Earth, survival becomes less about conquest and more about care:
care for ecosystems, resources, and the values that make life worth preserving.
In this new episode of State Change,
@analog_kyle sits down with
@b_belvisi , Founder & CEO of
@InterstellarLA — a company designing autonomous biospheric systems capable of growing plants in extreme environments, from Earth to low-Earth orbit, the Moon, and eventually Mars.
Together, they explore:
•What it really means to become an interplanetary species
•Why livestock won’t go to Mars — but wine might
•How childhood dreams of space turn into real engineering challenges
•Why Europe hesitated while the US and
@NASA embraced the vision
•How space constraints drive more efficient systems back on Earth
•The role of the private sector — and why
@SpaceX changed the space economy
•Moon vs Mars: state-driven projects, governance, and distance
•Why becoming interplanetary is about life expanding, not humans escaping
•How culture, biology, and even DNA may change off-planet
•Whether Mars could give rise to a new kind of society — and what that reflects about Earth
This conversation goes beyond technology.
It asks a deeper question:
Can we carry our values, responsibilities, and the civilization we built on Earth with us as we move beyond our home planet?
